Mods for the TCM1150

Microphone PartsThe Fox 460 mod kit from Microphone-Parts delivers a comprehensive replacement of the mic’s circuitry, resulting in a significant reduction in distortion and noise, and an increase in sensitivity. High-frequency shaping is another feature of the new circuit. The kit includes custom PCBs, handpicked audiophile components, silver/Teflon audio wiring, and a full-color, step-by-step installation guide. Voice the mic like a U67, C12, U47, or ElaM 251. See also the new C12-style replacement grille option.

Open Plan RecordingMark Chierego’s mod for the T-11A and clones (Apex 460) includes circuit and component upgrades such as transformer (Lundahl, Samar, Cinemag), tube and capsule (K-47 or CK-12 style). The mics are voiced with either the Neumann U47 or AKG C12 in mind.

Multi-Pattern Tube Condenser Microphone

The TCM-1150 is a variable-pattern, dual-diaphragm, large diaphragm tube condenser mic that is a favorite starting point for mic modders.

It is manufactured in China, although as with all outsourced manufacturing it is impossible to state specifically which factory might have produced the mic at any time. Indeed, it is likely the supplier has changed since the mic’s introduction, and maybe for each production run.

The mic uses a 6072/12AT7 tube, a 1-inch diaphragm that is almost certainly a Chinese-made K67-style (center-terminated, dual-diaphragm) capsule, and a 9-way pattern selection switch on the power supply.
